| WWW already offers a vast amount of useful information in the healthcare area but its localization and maintenance becomes increasingly complex with the Web expansion. |
| The goal of this thrust is to develop a systematic procedure for scanning the Web, selecting information relevant for the pilot projects, and constructing a set of relational or OO/MM databases. |
| Our current/initial approach uses NPAC WebTool(kit)s to setup a collaboratory (CIV) environment, to be accessed by the team members at SU, NPAC, SUNY HSC, California, Minnesota and North Carolina, and used to collectively accumulate useful URLs. |
